Consumer Description

ENGINE STUMBLED AND THEN LOST POWER. IT RE-STARTED BUT IDLED AT 750RPM. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PLACING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT INCREASE THE ENGINE SPEED. THIS PERSISTED ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES. AFTERWARDS, THE ENGINE SPEED RESPONDED TO THE ACCELERATOR, AND WHEN PLACED IN GEAR, ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. *TR
